Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

I've been writing & posting some poems these last two weeks, most notably Workarounds

We married our same-sex friends on Facebook
because there was no relationship status
for "My sex life is none of your business"

and A Working Definition

sometimes ordinary language made extraordinary by where

you cut the line

What's your working definition of poetry?

I posted a reading of Gerard Manley Hopkins' Spring and Fall: To a Young Child.

I wrote a poem this past week called, Recidivism.

Snip: You looked surprised when I knew the term
"recidivism rate"
like only people with college degrees
know those words - but I lived them.

I posted at my journal three entries about rereading old issues of Poetry. And in this entry, I linked to three recently published poems (one at Escape Into Life and two at Inkscrawl).
